I actually have a pair of the originals and I love them so much however I wanted to get a cheaper version for beach, music festivals, without worrying too much about damaging or losing them. It’s SO difficult to tell the difference between the two — the engraving/font and shape of them is exactly the same. If I had known, I never would have purchased the original pair. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves —I have the ORIGINAL pair on the right and the lNSPlRED on the left. Keep in mind my original pair is old so they're a little bit more scratched/dirty.
